Yarat Commonist Catalog English

As a new and dramatically emerging phenomenon, multiculturalism provokes extremely dissonant reaction ranging from unreserved dismay and jackbooted rejection to obscure expectations. Amplitude range of its feelings is very wide. A new YARAT! Contemporary Art Space-implemented project promoted cooperation of 19 artists and represents 19 fundamentally opposite attitudes towards the issues above. The title of the project itself-“COMMONIST” appeals to the common sense, a broader one than any political dimension. “COMMONIST” is not simply a national that holds leftist or rightist views in politics, but rather a cosmopolite that has to put up with the altered regulations of human coexistence. A cosmopolite adheres to panhuman virtues in his judgment.
